Do you have to capitalize a genre in the middle of sentence?

No, you don't need to capitalize a genre in the middle of a sentence.

Here's why:

* Genres are not proper nouns: Genres like "science fiction," "romance," or "horror" are not specific names of people, places, or things. They are general categories, and lowercase is the standard for general terms.

Example:

* Incorrect: I love reading science fiction, but I also enjoy some fantasy.

* Correct: I love reading science fiction, but I also enjoy some fantasy.

Exceptions:

* At the beginning of a sentence: You would capitalize a genre at the beginning of a sentence, just like any other word.

* Formal titles: If a genre is part of a formal title, it would be capitalized. For example: "The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction."
